I am not attacking Fred Thompson BTW.

LOL! You're "not attacking Thompson". Yeah, right. How about posting the FULL quote, then:

"I think that we ought to be a tolerant nation. I think we ought to be tolerant people. But we shouldn't set up special categories for anybody. Marriage is between a man and a woman and I don't believe judges ought to come along and change that."

"Marriage is between a man and a woman and I don't believe judges ought to come along and change that." - Fred Thompson.

Rudy Interviewed by Hannity... "GIULIANI: Marriage should be between a man and a woman. Here's exactly the position I've always had. And it's the same -- and I feel the same way about it today that I did eight, 10 years ago when I signed the domestic partnership legislation: Marriage should be between a man and a woman. It should remain that way."

To be fair, the newsmax article she cited (I think written by a Duncan Hunter supporter, or maybe Tancredo), contained only the sentence she quoted. It was a secondary source, and I the reporter got it wrong, I think on purpose, as you posted the quote it’s clear Thompson was not refering to “gay rights” but to “gay people” when he said we should be a tolerant nation.

Some won’t agree, but I do agree, that we should be tolerant of gay people. Not accepting, not enabling, but tolerating. Just like Thompson said — no special rights.

Thanks for the full Fred quote.
